Does it matter? Is the global namespace permanently depleted because of an obscure language that nobody has used in 30 years?

Does it matter? Is the global namespace permanently depleted because of an obscure language that nobody has used in 30 years?
- stbenjam 1mo agoBy that logic, I think I'll create a new language called Pascal, or maybe Ada...
- applfanboysbgon 1mo agoNeither of those languages are obscure. If enough time passes that they become considered so, by all means there is no reason to condemn the names to an eternal graveyard.
- Jtsummers 1mo agoUnlike the old C* linked at the top of this particular thread, Ada is still seeing active development in its language standard and implementations and new work. Pascal (via FreePascal and Delphi, in particular) is also still maintained and in use today.
